The tests above were intended for that sort of use.  They may use too many CPU 
cycles for some cases, but that doesn't look like a problem for you.

If you find something they don't cover, please let me know.

High on my list is a post-install sanity check.  (mostly to ensure that the 
libraries are available)

There is no "-v" command line option.  That's the generic help message.

I think the extra white space is so that things line up in columns if they 
overflow a single line.
